BASEBALL ROUNDUP: Dezzi lifts Clearview in consolation

Besides giving up a lopsided four runs in the second inning, Clearview’s T.J. Dezzi was impressive improving to 3-0 on the season with a complete game effort in a 8-5 win over Woodstown in the Consolation Game match-up.

Dezzi finished the game with six strikeouts and only one walk as Steve Keane led the offense with a double and two RBIs. Dave Young chipped in going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBIs.

Clearview tried to mount a comeback plating three runs in its final at bat, but fell short 10-7 to Timber Creek in the semifinal round of the Lee Ware Tournament. Joe Reichl and Rich Norcross each went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI to pace the Pioneer offense.
